Sunday night marked the season one finale of Eyewitness. But how is the USA Network series doing in the ratings? Should it be renewed for a second season or should it be cancelled?
Based on the Norwegian series Øyevitne, season one of the planned anthology drama follows two teenage boys who witness a shooting while trying to keep a secret of their own. The cast includes Julianne Nicholson, Tyler Young, James Paxton, Gil Bellows, Warren Christie, and Tattiawna Jones.
Eyewitness premiered on October 16th and earned a 0.20 rating in the 18-49 demo and around 765,000 viewers. The series continued to dip in the ratings over the course of the season, ending with an average of around 0.17 in the 18-49 demo and 628,00 viewers — pretty low numbers even for a cable drama.
Based on the ratings alone, it seems likely that Eyewitness will be cancelled. However, we’d like to know what you think. Please tell us.
Did you watch Eyewitness? Do you think USA Network should renew it for a second season with a different story?
3/1/17 update: Eyewitness has been cancelled. Details here.
Yes, yes, yes!!!! I would watch another season!!!
It definitely deserves a second season. Did u not see the spike in ratings for the final episode??
I WOULD SO WATCH ANOTHER SEASON
It should definitely be renewed, with the same characters and cast. There are still many backstories and possible story lines to be explored, and the writers and cast would do an amazing job.
I would 100% watch. Please renew!
My friend and i just happened upon this series when perusing On Demand on my TV. We loved it so much that we binge-watched the entire season in 2 and a half days ! I would be crushed if this series was canceled. I have totally fallen in love with these characters! I need some more Eyewitness!! I think that USA needs to wait and see how many more people will find this show like we did. And i am certainly going to put the word out there on FB and Twitter.
Please please please keep Eyewitness going! I love the idea of different plots every season, but I’d love for it to be like American Horror Story, with the same cast!! Please keep it going!!
I loved this show and hope to see a season 2 with the same cast!!!!
Everyone who loves the show wants it renewed and with the same cast!!!
I would for sure watch another season of the show “Eyewitness” . Although another season with the same cast would take away from the theme of the show (Eyewitness) Like it would be really odd that there could be another eyewitness situation in these same characters lives after season one. The writing was great and if those writers could top season one then they should “bring it”
I WOULD ABSOLUTELY WATCH THE HELL OUT OF SEASON 2 !!!! USA Network didn’t do jacksh!t to promote this show. It even once changed the schedule at the last minute on a night the ratings counted. It’s us viewers who had to promote it on social media. I can’t mesure how big of an audience this show has (because of online viewing) but it trended every Sunday night to Monday since November on Tweeter and Tumblr (which I know about). Youtube accounts who uploaded some of the newest scenes had a lot of views on these videos. BONUS: The Eyewitness… Read more »

A season two with the same cast? i’m heavenly agree. Please, it’s an awesome show, with great representation, a lovely cast and amazing soundtrack. I’m international fan, too.
Yes the show should absolutely be renewed for a second season.
This show definitely deserves a second season. it is seriously so good, please renew it. Eyewitness really does deserve it.
